NOTE: The amount and type of soilage play an
important role in determining the type of brushes
to use. Contact a Tennant representative for
specific recommendations.
Polypropylene and Wire 8-double row Main
Brush − Recommended for general sweeping,
fine dust, and slightly impacted debris.
Polypropylene Sand Wedge Main Brush −
Recommended for heavy accumulation of sand
and other small particulates.
Polypropylene Window Main Brush −
Recommended for light litter, especially on
smooth floors.
Polypropylene 8-double row Main Brush −
Recommended for lighter duty sweeping
applications.
Nylon 8-double row Main Brush −
Recommended for general sweeping, especially
on rough or irregular surfaces. Nylon has a long
wear life.

HOW THE MACHINE WORKS
Machines SN 000000 − 006500
Machines SN 006501 −
The steering wheel controls the direction of
machine travel. The directional pedal controls the
speed and forward/reverse direction. The brake
pedal slows and stops the machine.
The side brush sweeps debris into the path of the
main brush. The main brush sweeps debris from
the floor into the hopper. The vacuum system
pulls dust and air through the hopper and the dust
control system.
When sweeping is finished, shake the dust filter
and empty the hopper.
